"We did things like letting fireworks off in hotels, put vaseline on people's car windows, let down tyres and burning Eric Young's Brighton bag," said Wise, who made 137 appearances in five years at the now defunct club.

"He constantly brought it in after joining from Brighton and it got on our nerves after a while so we burnt it.

"There were many things we did and it was part and parcel of us joking and having fun.

"It probably was not correct but we didn't think we harmed anyone but we did it because that was the group we had.

"But it's a different time now. Football is more structured, more professional in the way things are run and you would never see these type of things happening now.

"Now you can't go out or do jokey things because everything is portrayed in a different way, and you are made to look not professional if you do jokey things.
